My dear Waterhouse

You let me have some fossil Balani from the mouth of the Indus, about which I
cd make out very little; & they are
now returned.— I, also, send all the fossil Cirripedes, which I have been able
anyhow to get for the Museum. Though few I hope they will be worth preserving. A few are
very rare. A considerable lot was sent me named by M. Bosquet of
Maestricht. Mr
Woodward knows so much about fossil Cirripedes, that I hope he will see them gummed
on.
